Testicular torsion in children.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
questionAs a family physician caring for a large pediatric population, I evaluate numerous adolescents with testicular pain. Given the gravity of prognosis for late treatment of children with testicular torsion, what are best practices for its assessment and management? ANSWER: The Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion (TWIST) score has been developed and validated to identify children at risk of testicular torsion. If the TWIST score is 0 and clinical suspicion is low in the office setting, a referral to urology for urgent consultation is not needed. If the TWIST score is 1 or higher or if the clinical presentation suggests torsion, manual detorsion should be attempted and the patient should be urgently sent to the nearest emergency department.
